The “Test All Test Smart” team has worked hard to ensure testing at the University of Arizona is as safe, convenient, and efficient as possible.
Date: Jan. 22 from 9-10 a.m.

The next step in our staged re-entry will be to permit Stage 2 In-Person Courses (all less than 30 students) to migrate to the planned in-person delivery modes. In this webinar, we will discuss implementation plans as well as the continuous public health mitigation strategies in place on campus, and provide support and guidance as we move forward with this critical step. We are also interested in your ideas, questions, and feedback, as we approach this important milestone.

Learn more about UArizona's Test All Test Smart (TATS) program for detecting coronavirus infections. Up to 45% of COVID-19 cases may be asymptomatic, making detection and management of the disease more challenging. Our TATS program makes testing available to those with exposure concerns, while also systematically testing randomly selected students and employees working or studying on the Tucson campus without symptoms or exposure risk to provide an estimate of the number of new infections per week. TATS data helps inform our campus mitigation activities and the campus reentry process, leading to a a safer campus and community for all of us.
